For what it's worth the illegal gun "trade" here in my area is pretty small and very exceedingly private in my experience (22 years on the street here in south Florida). Any bad actor with knowledge of illegal gun stuff almost has a "get out of jail free" card in his/her back pocket...
I dealt with a few widely diverse snitches and never found one that could turn me on to anything like illegal gun stuff. Most bad guys that I've known simply steal what they need or purchase one off, here and there, in a stranger to stranger transaction. Anything else is mostly TV stuff with the below exception....
I'm sure that weapons headed out of the country are an entirely different proposition.
This entire proposition looks like amateur night to me and no matter what's been said publicly I'll bet someone that knew about it got in a jam and used that card I mentioned to get themselves out of whatever trouble they were in. Anyone that thinks their friends won't fall all over themselves to turn them in if they need to is just dreaming...
